At first your plan seems to be working, but then you see that the passage ends in a dead end. The bandits are almost upon you. You hear Morgiana creating a magical shield around herself. You must fight!

BANDIT 1  SKILL 10  STAMINA  12

BANDIT 2  SKILL 9   STAMINA  16

Roll one dice each attack round to see who Morgiana will attack (she has a skill of 6, and will not be injured if hit). On a 1-3 she will fight the first bandit, on a 4-6 she will fight the second bandit. You may choose to attack the same opponent, in which case you should fight both opponents together (and both will attack you), but Morgiana will also attempt to strike the appropriate bandit. Alternatively you may attack the other opponent, in which case you should treat each battle separately for that attack round. Once one bandit falls, you will both attack the other, who will attempt to injure you.

At any time you may investigate the dead end. If you do this you may not injure either bandit that round (though they will both attempt to injure you). However, if you successfully test for SKILL or LUCK (you choose) you may turn immediately to 185.

If you win, turn to 193.
